Got Some Friendly Groundhogs In Edmonton, Eh?

This Furry, Friendly Chubbular is “Raisins.” Or, maybe Gordon. So, it seems a CBC reporter was out jogging, and came across a woman on a bike ride who was feeding the groundhog raisins, nuts and Smarties candy that she was carrying in a plastic bag. She named him (or her?) Raisins.

Others say this might be a local groundhog legend named Gordon. More deets here, OK then?

My family rescued a groundhog/woodchuck when I was five. I named her Patty after Peppermint Patty from The Peanuts comic strip. Her favorite snacks were Dandelion greens and Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes. They are very intelligent animals.
